Interesting enough, Microsoft IT seems to tell a whole different story about scalability and high availability of Hyper-V. In this article Microsoft IT describes th configuration of Hyper-V in Microsoft’s own infrastructure. Eat your own dogfood. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc974012.aspx

A quote from the article:

As Microsoft IT developed standards for which physical machines to virtualize, it identified many lab and development servers with very low utilization and availability requirements. Because of the lower expectations, Microsoft IT now is deploying the lab and development virtual servers with four processor sockets, 16 to 24 processor cores, and up to 64 gigabytes (GB) of random access memory (RAM). These servers can host a large number of virtual machines, averaging 10.4 virtual machines per host machine.

About me

My name is Marcel van den Berg. I am working as an infrastructure consultant for a dutch IT-specialist and have 23 years experience in IT. My main job is designing and implementing VMware and Hyper-V infrastructures.

This site will focus primarily on VMware vSphere and Hyper-V solutions.

The main reason I started this blogsite beginning of 2009 is to share my experiences and knowledge. I strongly believe in sharing knowledge.
Also I like to write articles. A third reason is for personal usage: information is used by myself when I forgot something ;-)

Please to not hesitate to fill in comments after reading a blogposting. I really like to get feedback.

I recieved the VMware vExpert title in 2011, 2012 and 2013 as a recognization for my work for the community.

I can be contacted by email at mvdb22 (at) gmail dot com or by Twitter @marcelvandenber
